The Advanced Airlift Tactics Training Center (AATTC) is hosting its 32nd annual Tactics and Intelligence Symposium through Thursday.

More than 300 participants are anticipated to attend including U.S. military and foreign allied nations personnel. Dozens of commercial venders will also showcase equipment and tools related to tactics development.

This year’s theme is “Bringing It All Together”.

The symposium serves as a venue for tacticians to share information. Attendees will learn from subject matter experts and network with fellow mobility professionals. It also promotes interaction with vendors. Attendees can view innovative products and help shape the development of future combat systems.

The AATCC has seen an increase in attendees from other aircraft communities other than the C-130 Hercules and C-17 Globemaster III. Those communities include the C-5 Galaxy, C-26 Metroliner, KC-10 Extender, and KC-135 Stratotanker.

Unique to this year’s event will be an emphasis on information sharing with coalition partners to provide additional training and expand information sharing with these allied partners.

The AATTC is a tactics school comprised of 76 personnel from the U.S. Air Force, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve. The school trains some 900 students per year and more than a dozen allied nations have trained here.

The Missouri Air National Guard’s 139th Airlift Wing is comprised of approximately 1,100 citizen-Airmen from local communities throughout the region. The unit operates the C-130H Hercules cargo aircraft and has a duel mission both to the state of Missouri and the Federal government. Rosecrans Air National Guard Base is located at Rosecrans Memorial Airport, St. Joseph, Mo.
